Sound legal advice from the outset is key to
paving the way to a successful outcome.
An expert on your side
Our lawyers will explain the legal system and procedures in a straightforward and comprehensive manner, providing clarity to ensure that you can make informed decisions with our specialist guidance.
About Us
One benefit to you in choosing S H Family Law, a firm of two lawyers who specialise solely in family law, is that the lawyer who meets you at your initial meeting is the same lawyer who undertakes every step required throughout your matter. Unlike some larger law firms you can be confident that you will not be ‘passed around the team’ not knowing who your point of contact is.
Additionally, we do not believe in offering a ‘standard’ fixed fee service. This is because in family law, there simply is no ‘standard’ as every person’s individual needs differ. Instead, we discuss costs with you at the outset and also throughout your matter to ensure transparency and with affordability at the forefront.
You can choose the level of input from us you require, we can either undertake all the steps required to conclude matters on your behalf or you can undertake some or all of the steps yourself with us in the background offering advice and assistance. This puts you in control of your legal fees by enabling you to choose how much or how little assistance you require from us.
Our Team
Grace Elizabeth Cox
FCILEX
I am a Chartered Legal Executive regulated by the Institute of Legal Executives. I have specialised exclusively in family law for over 15 years, thus I have a wealth of knowledge and experience in all areas of family law.
I firmly believe that having the support of a highly experienced family lawyer, like myself, is your key to navigating the separation process with confidence. It enables you to feel safe in the knowledge that you will achieve the best possible outcome, tailored to your specific needs and requirements.
My experience has taught me that you cannot adopt a blanket approach to family issues. It is so important to listen and find out what a positive outcome looks like to each individual, as what this means to one person will be hugely different to another. I recognise that each individual has different needs, preferred approaches and outcomes.

Solicitor
Memberships - Resolution
Following University I spent 5 years as a Police Officer with Avon and Somerset Constabulary before deciding to train as a Solicitor. I qualified as a Solicitor in 1994 and have since this time specialised exclusively in family law.
I am committed to trying to resolve disputes which arise within a family setting in a sensitive manner, keeping the channels of communications, however weak those may be, open and providing individuals with the information they need to make the choices which best suit them and their family. This ensures that the individual remains in control of the process rather than being driven by the legal profession and legal system.
